Carbamide melts have found applications as electrolytes for electrochemical treatment of metals [1]. The possibility of electrodeposition of refractory metals from carbamide melts at 1350°С has been examined for molybdenum as an example. When studying the electrochemical behaviour of molybdenum oxide and its compounds (MoO<sub>3</sub>, Li<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub>, Na<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub>, K<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub> or CaMoO<sub>4</sub>) in molten carbamide, it can be concluded that maximum limiting currents are typical of the system (NH<sub>2</sub>)2CO-Na<sub>2</sub>MoO<sub>4</sub>. Micron Mo coatings on nickel cathodes and metallic Mo powder have been obtained by the electrolysis of the molten system (NH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CO-Na<sub>2</sub>MoO at current densities of 10-20 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>.
